\u201cThey put their hand up as well and for the next race, there will be lap counters and a final bell, which is fantastic,\u201d Wilde told Newstalk ZB.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve also got to put my hand up as well. I messed up, I did an extra lap and I\u2019ll move forward from this.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a learning curve for myself, obviously cost me the race as well, but you can\u2019t dwell too much on the past and you just hope this doesn\u2019t happen to any other athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilde, an Olympic silver and bronze medallist, knew he must have been near the end of his cycle, but as there was no call from an official to move into the transition area, he kept going, with Belgian Mathis Margirier and France\u2019s Marten Van Riel following him.<\/p>\n
Previously fourth-place British athlete Sam Dickinson rolled into transition and looked confused as to where the leaders had gone with no other bikes in the area.<\/p>\n
By the time Wilde returned, he was 13th and was shocked to see all the bikes present. <\/p>\n
The mistake cost the 28-year-old more than a win, but a significant amount in prize money.<\/p>\n
Each race, the winner is awarded US$25,000 ($44,000) but for Wilde, his eighth-place means he only pocketed US$6000 ($10,000).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of prize money and a lot of money on the line that I lost and other athletes lost last week,\u201d Wilde said. \u201dWe just hope it doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a shame being one of the guys that that fell into it. It\u2019s a bit unfortunate, but hopefully we can work together and move forward and make better of our mistakes, just make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n
T100 events consist of 2km of swimming, 80km of cycling and 18km of running.<\/p>\n
The T100 season concludes with the finale in Qatar in December and a top-four finish for Wilde would be enough to see him secure the overall title and pocket a US$210,000 ($371,000) prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThey put their hand up as well and for the next race, there will be lap counters and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":141995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[74,4057,12413,49159,4225,8231,71,6206,63787,5420,16718,8599,111,139,69,10711,90,5034,96177,2687,96176,213,23371,11858,30909,93836,102],"class_list":["post-141994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-after","tag-behind","tag-chaos","tag-determined","tag-dubai","tag-event","tag-from","tag-frustrations","tag-hayden","tag-hes","tag-him","tag-moves","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-officials","tag-on","tag-response","tag-satisfied","tag-saying","tag-shambolic","tag-sports","tag-sundays","tag-t100","tag-triathlon","tag-wilde","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
